Or worse just put a shared footway/cycle route sign on a section of pavement but don't reserve one side for pedestrians like they do in many European countries. Knutsford Business Park is an example of how to do a cycle route badly. The traffic lights only change when they detect a car or vehicle leaving the business park, so the 'shared space' is just a way of allowing cyclists to leave the business park legally and even then it only works in the cyclist is leaving in the direction of Knutsford.

Quote:I'm intrigued by the idea of walking from Goostrey to Jodrell Bank though. I can't imagine too many people try that.

The text says about there not being a good walking route and the proposal is for a better, more direct route. If you ask Google for walking directions it directs you to the staff & deliveries entrance. I'm guessing the idea is something like what exists for Burscough Bridge to Martin Mere.
